A "BETTER GLASS; VIEW OF 1T.

How is it you don't join the
great majority of your class Of
people who are jubilant over the
hanging of the men in Chicagoa'
| asked an old Denver resident
and property owner" whom few
would even suspect of sympathiz-
ing with the anarchists
"I'll tell you" said he. when
they hung John Brown, lrecolleci
very well that their being obliged
to have a large force of United
States troops to help hang him
created in my mind at the time the
impression that he was not recog-
nized by the common people as a
murderer; that the authorities
feared the indignation of the peo-
pie and consequently made due
precautions. Since the hanging
of John Brown, an event we'll re-
member, l have never heard of
United States troops being called
on to help hang manpntil read
in the papers, previous to the exc
cution of those men in Chicago,
that troops were being ordered to
that city. When / read that dis
patch in the papers my mind went
back instantly to the John Brown
hanging. ! asked myself can it be
that these proposed executions
are similar in nature and cause to
Browns execution2
"Since | read that dispatch
which said that several hundred
United States soldiers were or
dered to Chicago, have to some
extent looked up the history of
those mems lives and. as far as |
have been able, read their speeches
and freely say that l believe the
hanging of John Brown was no
greater wrong than was the hang
ing of those labor agitators-that's
what they were, and all they. we're
who had made themselves OBJ
noxious to the rich men of Chi
cago.'
These sentiments were not ex-
pressed, as many might think, by
a man who has liberal" views on
theological and religious subjects.
On the contrary, they are those
of a man whom | listened to but a
few minutes previously as he
asked a blessing" in the real old
orthodox Presbyterian fashion.

TYRANTS ALL.

BERLIN, November 23.-Oa the
cars arrival at the frontier station
of Wirballen, all the approaches
were closed even to pedestrians.
The route thence to St. Petersburg
was guarded by 10000 men, and
the czar changed carriages several
times on the journey.
The czar needed but regiment
or two to guard him while out OF
his own country, but when inside
the frontier of his own dominions
the force was increased to the
enormous number of $4,000.
Judge Gary, it is said, when
out of Chicago has only one de-
tective to guard him, but when in
the city where he is known no less
than four detectives guard his
precious carcass.
These are ticklish times for ty'
rants.

AUNirARIAN minister Of Hart
ford. Conn. the Rev. ]. c. kim
ball. delivered sermon recently
in which he defended the doctrine
preached by the so-called anarch-
lists, who we're murdered on the
eleventh Of November. Certain
rich men in his congregation, who
did net dare to show wherein he
had violated the true principles of
pure religion, sought to have him
fired out" A fierce fight was
made BY the "money-bags" but
wonderful to relate they were de-
feated. and the courageous an
archist preacher holds his pulpit.

them under the statues of Illness

law, as much guilty as though witI
their own hands they had fhrosxl

Here is another sentiment which
might be easily duplicated IL
the Chicago 7T5nne, or any 81
the worst anti-labor papers;
Anarchy is an Importation into
the United States. 1t is not IN
accident that out of the eight
men convicted in Chicago only
one was of American birth, fos
the American element among oul
avowed Socialists an anarchists is
in hardly greater proportion.
The parrot cry of foreigner" is
used by this mountebank with the
same villainous purpose in view
as have the capitalist organs. He
bellies himself when he admits

ish and take root here as it has in
other parts of the world. George
says:
In all our cities we are rearing
an increasing number of children
under conditions which would
make anarchism a thing of .spon-
taneous development, even if it
did not already exist.
He admits that the conditions
are here and also that anarchy is
thing of spontaneous growth,
yet he joins the vampire press in
bowling foreigner" at the victims
who might be living to-day were
they constituted as miserably and
sel6shly as the charlatsn who
spews his venom over their hon

have organized in secrecy i1l a.
past Il vas generally fcs tie PR
pose Of concentrating their phys
ical forces to do with muscle thai
which cond not be done BY afgu-
ment. In those by-gone days i
was necessary to combine physical
forces to accomplish anything.
In those days a hundred mer
could not inflict on an enemy the
punishment one man can tS-day.s
Then the only weapon was gun
powder or steel; to-day science
has evolved from nature forces
which are simply horrible in theil
intensity. The very fact that
these newly-discovered forces are
a reality makes associations oi
men for purposes of organized at
tack on an enemy wholly unnec-
essary as the individual is an army
in himself. Illustrative Of this
are the experimental tests made
by the United States military au-
thorities with the new dynamite
gun, the demonstrated accuracy
of which indicated plainly that
one man could destroy the navies
of the world before they could
succeed in entering New York
harbor.
This merely shows how bands Of
men need not in the future associ-
ate themselves in a secret COM
pact.
1t is we'll that nature has been
robbed of her secret power, for it
will have a tendency to make men
respect each others rights. When
the humblest worm can resent an
injury hts rights will not be vio-
lated.

; NO SECRET SOCIETIES.

Will the workingmen 60 into
secret organizations is aquestion
which is asked often of late, espe-
cially since the numbering of the
labor agltators at chicago. 1t is
asked BY all sorts and conditions
of people.
The rich man asks it because
he feels that it is natural that man
should, when deprived Of the lib
erty of free expression, turn to
some channel where he may at
tempt in secret to accomplish that
which he dare not even speak OF
in public. Many of the thought
less burden-bearers ask the ques-
tion lately in kind of hopeless
way. They see no other way, ap-
parently, but to work in secret for
something which to even them
selves is a vague indefinite some
thing.
There are many reasons why
secret associations of ofworkingmer
will never be popular again.
The thinking element control:
all societies of men, no matter
whether in the lower or higher
circles. This element in the
workers, or at least the
great mass of it, does not favor
secrecy. 1t believes that the oper
light of day is the proper place il
which to discuss both theories aht
grievances. The spirit of the ag'
will not long tolerate the hanging
Of men for their expressions albei
those expressions are obnoxiou
to the majority.
Even though the thinking ele
ment did not rule in the ranks O
the workingmen, the fact that OF
ganization of secret bodies is un
necessary will prevent the forma
ton of such societies. When mel

DON'T DO 1T.

II you are thinking seriously OF
sending IS or 50 cents of the years
subscription which you owe this
paper, let me advise you-dont t
do it.
It's not necessary as the EN-
ouIRER is not obliged to pay for
anything used or needed to get
itself out into the hands of the
public. 1t gets its print paper for
nothing, compositors work for
glory and the printing house that
does the press work would not
take a cent if was offered it. The
ENQUIRER is engaged in preaching
a doctriue that just suits the rich
people, in fact it is something
which is a very marvel to see how
the wealthy admire this paper.
No, don't bother yourself about
sending any money especially be-
tween the hours of 9 a. m. and 5
>. rn., as the editor is generally
out during that time enjoying him
self in a spin down the boulevard
behind a spanking pair of bays,
and all small change brought to
the office while he is away is given
to the slave who sweeps out.
